Default PCV valve: different for windsor/romeo

My new heads are windsor so I picked up a set of windsor valve covers. The passenger side PCV valve is missing so I was gonna just swap mine over but they appear to be different. The windsor one has a rubber gromet and looks like it pushes in, my romeo one looks like it twists in or something (i'm not sure how to remove it). Are they different or am I just retarded?

I won't comment on the retarded part :-) however there are two types, one that pushes in and one that has a bayonet type screw-lock (1/3 turn or so anti-clockwise to remove)...

I think the grommets may be interchangeable, however I would not put money down on that...

haha thanks. The one on my romeo has like two clippy things, one on each side. Do I have to pry them up then turn or what?

Yeah, spread the clips while you turn the valve 1/4 turn or so...

That may be good news, I think they cost quite a bit less...
